Are there fines for flying at night?
All commercial flights – including business and general aviation – operating during the airport’s restricted hours of 12:30 a.m. to 6:29 a.m. need to have prior approval from the Greater Toronto Airports Authority.
There are exceptions that do not require prior approval, including flights for medevac, military, police, and Heads of State.
Flights that operate during the restricted hours without the necessary permissions are investigated by the Enforcement Office, and the operator could face fines levied by Transport Canada.
